Purple Goodness

by Kay~Kacey on 4/1/2010

Ah, all is right with my world.

purple-hyacinth-6088Since I’m slightly addicted to purple flowers, as you know. I was so excited to see this brave purple hyacinth pushing his way up through the remains of the lavender. Soon, very soon, I’ll be surrounded by purpley goodness. Lavender, speedwell, and HOPEFULLY LILACS.

Next to collecting milk glass, I think my second favorite thing to collect is photos of purple flowers!

and everything in between!

I love petunias. My grandmother always had them edging her driveway and in her flower pots along her front porch. I remember the brilliant displays and wonderful scent of those flowers. She’d plant them in every summer. We’d make homemade ice cream and play shuffle board and go downtown to the city park for Chuck Wagon Days. Sigh. What wonderful memories. All brought rushing back by my pretty purple petunias.

What flowers hold an emotion connection for you?
